Width = 4ft

Length = 6ft

Explanation:

Let length = l ,

So, width = 2l-8

Perimeter of rectangle = 2x(length + width)

According to the question,

$20ft = 2X(l + 2l-8)\\20ft = 2X(3l -8)\\ 10ft = 3l-8\\18ft = 3l \\ l = 6ft$

Hence,

Width = 4ft

Length = 6ft

Answer:

The answer is "The cops were correct because the average speed would have been about 39.73 miles per hour as per the calculations."

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the average skid distance:

$Average=\frac{70+71+72}{3}=\frac{213}{3}=71$

Calculating the skid:

$S=\sqrt{30 \times D \times f\times n}\\\\$

$=\sqrt{30 \times 71 \times 0.78\times 0.95}\\\\=\sqrt{1,578.33}\\\\=39.73$

Answer:

Done below!

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - root)

(x - 2)(x - (-1))(x - (-5)) = (x - 2)(x + 1)(x + 5)

$(x^{2} +x-2x-2)(x+5)=(x^{2} -x-2)(x+5)=x^{3}+5x^{2}-x^{2} -5x-2x-10\\\\=x^{3}+4x^{2} -7x-10$
